Pattern and instructions for a sporty skater dress with cuffs, sizes 80–140

Sporty dress designed for French terry, lightweight summer sweat fabric, or a slightly heavier jersey.

The style features elastic ribbed cuffs at the neckline and on the short sleeves. In my sample, I combined two different colors for the cuffs, but of course you can sew them in a single color as well.

A subtly flared ruffle is attached at the hem, reminiscent of tennis dresses. The dress is easy to put on without any additional closures — the neckline is slightly widened so it can simply be pulled over the head.

Choose a beautiful French terry fabric, combine it with matching elastic ribbing, and your child will enjoy this comfortable and easy-to-wear sweat dress for a long time.

The sewing steps are simple and suitable even for beginners with little experience.
With the pattern, you will receive detailed step-by-step instructions with many close-up photos, so you can clearly understand and follow each step.
The sewing tutorial is included in both German and English — you only need to print the version you prefer.

The pattern is drafted in 11 individual sizes: 80, 86, 92, 98, 104, 110, 116, 122, 134, and 140, so you can sew the dress multiple times as your child grows. The German sizes correspond to the child’s height in centimeters.

The sizes are distinguished by different colors in the pattern, making them easy to identify.
Pattern pieces that are larger than standard printer paper are tiled and need to be taped together. This process is also explained in detail.
